Thanks for the quick reply!

We plan to use HP's Storage Mirroring (Host Based, ASync) so that parts cool.

Basically, now that SAN A in Site A is replicating with SAN B in Site B,
what can I do to ensure if Site A is lost that File and Print services are
avialable in Site B?

I will have to have a server connected to the SAN in Site B to Host the
Storage Mirroring. How could I use the server in Site B to host the File
Shares and Print queues from Clusters A and B in site A? Is it a matter of
restoring the system state to the Server in Site B?

Do I need to have 2 clusters in Site B as well?

Thanks again,

John
